      R&D Planning/Operations Manager Interview

      1 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Samsung Research America (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      To say the least it was the most unprofessional, inappropriate and sexually discriminatory encounter I've ever had. I have been a Samsung employee back in Korea for several years and have left on good terms continuing business as a freelancer. But left the campus today feeling utterly mortified and confused

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were asked but I was barely given a chance to reply and cut short while the interviewer did most of the talking. I decided to withdraw my application right afterwards. I had applied through a friend who works there. Some of the comments made by the interviewer was as follows: "(As soon as I was seated) Why did you come? I just wanted a phone call (I was never given that option)." "I'm not saying this because you're a woman but a woman I recently interviewed said, 'I can't do this and that' because I'm a woman / mom'. So what? I'm a dad too." "There's all this talk about women's rights & empowerment in Korea. Who do they think they are? A queen?" "(After explaining why my time at Company A was cut short) Why did you bother to work when you were pregnant. Do you have to work?" "Nothing on your resume matched anything I'm looking for but just because it was a referral I invited you." "My former experience as an engineer/researcher is valued everywhere but your kind of experience is not wanted anywhere." "Who's taking care of the child? (After I said I hired a nanny) Do you want that? Have your kid raised by someone else?"
